Class History This is station D. T. H. S. broadcasting. Keep your seats, folks, because any minute we may hear news of the ship 34 . Here we are, Ladies and Gentlemen. lt is my privilege and pleasure to bring to you Mr. C. A. llrothers. Superintendent of Dwight Township High School, who has kept in contact with the movements of this ship. Mr. Brothers-- 1 riends of the ship 434'-l am happy to give a resume of the cruise of this ship, which set sail four years ago with a crew of S5 aboard. During the first year of the cruise many of them fell overboard or were left in an open boat on the deep sea of mishap and misfortune. Many of these people were replaced in the ports of Intelligence, lndustriousness and Vvillpower. During the first year the ship was piloted by Francis McConnell. llc was assisted by Mary Zappa, Maude Steichen and Earl Schrotberger. who left the ship at the end of the first half of the year. The sponsor of the ship during the first year was Miss Morse. ln june the crew left for a three months' leave on dry land. They returned ready to resume the cruise in September. At the beginning of the second year some of those who had been in the crew during the previous year had dropped out because of seasickness or be- cause the work was too hard. During the second year lfraucis McConnell was again elected captain. Serv- ing with him were Arley Gillet. Dorothy lleyer. and Selma Drew. During this year the sponsor was Miss Xkilson. Surviving the rocks of failure. depression and poverty the crew started the third year of their cruise. This year llob llrumbach was chosen as captain. Sub- ordinate officers were .-Xrley Gillett, Dorothy lleyer and Marjorie Tyler. For sponsor they had Miss Grace McClelland who. at the end of the junior journey, left the ship and ventured forth on the sea of matrimony. During the year the crew had to work hard to raise money for the junior-Senior reception. -Xs a part of the program for raising money the play 'llot Copy' was given. Candy was sold at basket ball and football games and a movie was sponsored. On May 27th, the junior-Senior prom took place. After a delicious banquet. many interesting toasts were given. During the evening dancing was enjoyed to music furnished by Rosie Orr's Rhythm Masters. ln September, 1953. seventy-one seniors boarded the ship for the last leg of their journey. Now they were confident of themselves because of their three years of experience. This year llob llrumbach was again chosen as their leader. Those chosen to work with him were Lavern Christensen. Ruth Hoffman and Leonard Hoffman. under the sponsorship of Miss Bissell. This year they dc- cided in spite of Depression to carry on the 'R1cddcr'. As editor of the annual they elected Dorothy lleyer. To make money to publish it they sold candy, gave their annual play, 'lt Happened in flollywooclf spunsored a card party, a movie and a Stunt Show. Two members were lost when Hill Ely joined the C. C. C. and Marian Baker moved to llloomington. The ship has almost reached port. At the ringing of the ninth gong you will know they have safely arrived june 7, 19347 Page 7'2t't'n1I5'-film'
